Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 23 (July 25, 2016) 2nd Half

Ultimas semanas means we are approaching the end of the road toward El Destino.
##We must help the writers stay on track. We must help them free Lucero, expose Diego, arrest him and get a truly deserving guy off the streets. Olivia must get into treatment. La Malquerida needs to don a see-through apron, grab the duster and a tequila and welcome Javier home au naturelle.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 23 (July 25, 2016) 1st Half


IF----THEN, SO---
IF the police find the box of filched bank documents tomorrow, THEN Luis, Solorsano and Alicia will face jail time immediately, SO the only things left to wrap up is how the couples will get paired off.
 
IF Luis is successful in charging Marissa with adultery, THEN how does he maneuver it SO Super Oh! doesn’t charge him in return.

IF Luis won’t sign the divorce papers, THEN Marissa will have to kill him, SO she can finally be rid of him (not likely, though).

IF Hernan suffers a real heart attack, THEN Mariana will nurse him as long as it takes for him to recover, SO she won’t lose her meal-ticket (lean though it might be).

IF Camila is found, THEN Fer will get a bottle of single-toned Clairol and do her hair over, SO she won’t look like a cast-off cast member at Fer’s wedding.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 22 (July 18, 2016) 2nd Half

Some things are heating up on the Camino, some things are cooling down, some folks are happy, some folks aren’t. Isn’t this just like the real world?

Don Fernando (QEPD) has walked out of the confines of his malady along the train tracks to heaven. (He’s in a better place now where he doesn’t have to hear the people around him squabbling over his fortune and he knows who he is.) There is a casual dress funeral.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 22 (Jul 18, 2016) 1st Half

Apologies for not attending to Caray Camino business. I didn’t get a new page up for the second half of the week, but we were unceremoniously dumped for a Univision spectacular—as though Un Camino isn’t spectacular enough. It was enough to confuse me. This new page will serve until this coming mid-week.

Now, where were we? Some of us are feeling more sympathy for Amelia, some much less sympathy for Pedro, none for Luis, sorry Alicia was dragged into his malfeasance, happy that Little Pedrito has two parents to play with, worried about Javier’s intentions, expect Camila to become a street kid, cautious regarding Marissa’s health and state of mind and seriously concerned about Don Fernando’s most recent crisis, but mostly we wonder what will IzzaFreeza do next. Seriously, it’s about time she got a new “luke,” everyone else has.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 21 (July 11, 2016)

In this humble opinion, it is Amelia. She has--

*Left her suffocating, possessive husband
*Moved back into her family home and adjusted well to the luxuries it afforded her
*Recovered from her paralysis
*Secured an important position in her father’s construction empire and seems to be doing well
*Changed her hairstyle and wardrobe
*Stopped obsessing over Luis, her teenage heart-throb
*Is sorry for her treatment of her suffocating, possessive ex-husband
*Is sorry for her mistreatment of her darling daughter
*Changed her hairstyle again
*Has only slapped, cursed, or denigrated her evil-minded sister
*Helped keep the location of her sequestered father a secret for two years

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 19 (June 27, 2016) 1st Half

We left off with Fernanda conducting the inmate orchestra and playing her violin for the Directora of the Prison and various inmates who chose not to register. It sounded pretty professional. La Malquerida got to sing. She has a lovely voice. This can only result in lifting the spirits and self-esteem of the inmates. For Fernanda personally, we will have to wait and see. She has a lot of juggling--Carlos & Marissa, Amelia, Maribel, La Malquerida, Felipe. Since she told off Camila, she has no idea what has happened to our Junior lying traitor. She has no idea what Luis is up to, nor Mariana.

Glory be, the only thing grand that happened on Friday is that Pedro found Don Fernando in The Only Asylum in Mexico that needed landscaping.

There will be plenty to discuss, so carry on, Caminantes.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 18 (June 20, 2016) 2d Half

While we waited out the Copa America games, two poets-in-residence offered these for our diversion. Watch out for those Bread Crumbs, folks!

Luis is still nursing a grudge.
From this he never will budge.
He argues in court
'Cause he's of that sort
But won't win 'less he pays off the judge.
:
Louy is such a jerk
Who other people he loves to hurt
Surely when his time comes
He will be eating Crumbs
For others he poisons their bread
Maybe he'll be the one to eat it and be dead.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 18 (June 20, 2016) 1st Half

IS FERNANDA THE ONLY PRISONER IN THIS STORY? Think About---

Marissa - She's a prisoner of a debilitating disease and cloudy thinking

Don Fernando - He's also a prisoner of his mental deterioration and the manipulation by his elder daughter and her husband

Luis - He's a prisoner of greed, ambition and malevolence

Mariana and Hernan - They are in the same prison as Luis, with a little envy and jealousy thrown in the mix

Camila - She is a prisoner of her upbringing: unloved, unappreciated, a tool of her father

Isabela - She is a prisoner of her Hair and an uncontrolled obsession with Carlos

Amelia - She's been in a prison of her own making; bitter and longing for her former life, although she may get out on parole

Pedro - He's a prisoner of his own stubbornness and the inability to see how his goodness and protectiveness hurts the ones he loves

Carlos - He's a prisoner of telenovela plots, conventional set-ups, chicanery and skullduggery committed by others

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 17 (June 13, 2016) 2nd Half

#FREEFERNANDA
Who holds the key to Fernanda’s freedom? Will it be Ignacio, Camila, Carlos, Don Fernando, Amelia, Pedro, Felipe or…wait for it, Javier? Yes, Javier will no doubt come back into the picture. He was only supposed to be gone a short time. Pedro is living in his house, for heaven’s sakes. It would be hard to believe Javier didn’t leave a way to contact him while he’s been away. Pedro can’t be so stupid or blind not to let him know what happened to Fer. Indeed, Pedro had the hopes that Fernanda would turn her eyes on Javier, a wholesome, successful and acceptable mate, even though Javier himself saw it was a hopeless situation.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 17 (Jun 13, 2016) 1st Half

NOTICE: No Camino on Monday, June 13

We will have to wait until Tuesday to see how Fernanda’s trial goes. With Felipe defending her instead of Ordoñez, anything can happen. Can anything save her from prison? If Camila goes along with Mariana and Hernán, she will lose Fernanda as a friend forever, but gain her father’s approval (temporarily, probably). If she doesn't and backs Fernanda, her father's wrath comes down on her and Mariana reverts to her venomous reptilian persona. Since Camila hurt Fer at the end of Friday's episode telling her Carlos won't show up because he took his mother to Houston and he's with Ickzzy--his only real love, this does not bode well for the friendship.

Don Fernando is a lost cause to testify in favor of Fernanda. He's too befuddled. As Delilah pointed out, he doesn't even look good in his clothes.

Things look bleak before the trial even gets under way.

While we wait, let’s speculate—why, when Fernanda is faced with serious prison time, won’t Pedro or Amelia just let loose with their not so very dirty secret to Luis….and Fernanda. (Thank you, Diana, for the idea.)

Weekend Activity: The Televisa Remake Game (Classic Movies Edition)


In the last week I've been watching some great classic movies, so I've decided to revive something we had fun with in the past, The Televisa Remake Game. The rules:

  • Pick a classic movie, any genre.  Title translation optional.
  • Give your dream cast for the Televisa Remake you would produce.  Actors currently under contract to Telemundo are also invited to the casting call.  Although most or all character names would be changed into Spanish ones, use the original character names for clarity.
  • Make note of any minor changes to setting, character relationships, etc.
  • Comment on any previously posted project.
  • Have fun!

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 16 (Jun 6, 2016)

There was a wedding--not the one we wanted. There is no divorce--not what we wanted. There was a reconciliation--not likely to last. There is an illness--not one easily cured, to someone who doesn't deserve it. There is a recovery--not quite 100%, but he's trying. There are annoyances--none that we can control. We're on our way, deep into the weeds this week. Join us on our Camino. It's not an easy one, by any means, but stick with us and we will get to our happy fin.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 15 (May 30, 2016)

EPISODE #68 (Mon May 30)
Blanca asks Fer if she’s ever been curious of who her real father might be? Fer answers no, never. Pedro is her only father. She doesn’t know what happened in the past. The important thing in her life is the present. That’s enough for her. They talk about Don Fer and how he was then and now. Fer thinks it’s funny he thinks he can convince Pedro to forgive Carlos, when he can’t forgive Pedro for what he supposedly did to her mother. Blanca says Pedro is a saint, everyone knows it, including Amelia. Fer says if only Amelia had told her father how things really happened back then, their lives would be very different. Don Fer would have Pedro on a pedestal.
 
Carlos arrives and greets the two of them. Blanca leaves them. Carlos said he talked to Jay and he told him about Pedro getting upset because he and Fer had reconciled. Fer doesn’t know what to do. Pedro just doesn’t want them to be together. He hugs her and kisses her.  He can see it’s causing her some distress and he’s sure that if he could talk to Pedro, they could clear it all up. Fer doesn’t think it’s a good idea. He was just released that morning.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 14 (May 23, 2016) Second Half

EPISODE #66 (Thu May 26)
A representative of Child Welfare Services, a uniformed officer and a notebook lady have shown up in the middle of Clarita and Cesar’s reception. The rep addresses Marissa and wants to speak to Carlos. She says he’s not at home, but she can speak for him. She leads them in the house. The rep states Carlos has been keeping an unaccompanied minor in the home. Marissa is cooperative. Yes, Carlos brought home a homeless youngster, but is planning to adopt him.

The rep says that is the problem. There are no papers on file so they have to take the boy to a childrens shelter. Marissa doesn’t think that should be necessary. He’s well taken care of in their home, but they will have the family lawyer file the right papers in the morning. Rep lady says that doesn’t conform to the law. They have to take him now.
 
Carlos and Fer are still standing together away from the crowd at the reception. He tells her she hasn’t said whether they are novios again or not. She laughs and tells him for good or bad, yes. Carlos questions the “bad” part. Fer says it’s just a saying, like for good or bad, she loves him, for good or bad she can’t be without him, for good or bad she accepts being his novia again. They are both glowing, radiant in the heat of love. Carlos leans over for a kiss. [Ahem—I thought I saw a little tongue action there!] He’s the happiest man in the world.

Episode #63 – Monday May 23
Carlos awaits his fate, greeting “former” patients at the hospital. Marcos sees him and reminds him he shouldn’t be there. Carlos tells Marcos maybe the doctors and staff don’t need him, but the patients do. Marcos is sure everything will work out. Carlos doesn’t see how that is possible when they put the decision on his future in the hands of his rival. Marcos believes Javier will not let their personal rivalry affect his professional opinion.
 
Mariana and Fernanda continue their conversation. Fer is there to work, work she needs to help get her father well. It’s their fault he’s there. Mariana corrects her—it’s her mother’s fault. Fer revises, yes, her mother preferred her old family name and position to the love of her father and herself. Fer leaves to give Don Fer his pills. Blanca reappears. She points out to Mariana that she can relax, Fer is not after the inheritance, even though it’s also hers.

New Telenovela: Tres Veces Ana, Starts Monday, May 23rd

Recappers are needed for this telenovela which starts Monday, May 23rd in the 9 pm time slot. A few of you have now expressed interest in recapping-- let Blog Mom Jane/Melinama know and email her ASAP: caray@mappamundi.com


**News flash: as of 5/21, Uni has once again changed its mind about the fate of Yago, and it is supposedly no longer moving to the graveyard shift on UniMas. I have no idea what will happen to A Que No Me Dejas. During its first week, Tres Veces Ana will be shown in 2 hour blocks, 9pm-11pm. After that, it will be on at 9pm and Yago on at 10pm. This schedule is changing almost daily, so stay alert.


The story of "Tres Veces Ana" starts with a family road trip—the Álvarez del Castillo Rivadeneira family. Triplets Ana Laura, Ana Leticia and Ana Lucía, along with their parents, suffer a dramatic car accident, crashing by the side of a river. The event leaves both parents dead, Ana Laura losing one leg, and Ana Lucía dragged by the river’s current. Only Ana Leticia emerges unscathed. Soledad, a woman who is mourning her own daughter’s death, finds and helps Ana Lucía. Although Soledad discovers who the girl is, she takes advantage of Ana Lucía’s memory loss about the accident and her family and decides to keep her, making her believe she is her mother.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 13 (May 16, 2016) Second Half


Fernanda Meets the Family from Hell, and it’s Hers

(This lengthy scene is from Episode #60 from Wed, May 18)

Fer has arrived at the hacienda to take care of Don Fernando. She steps into the living room to find Carlos waiting for her, wanting to know how Pedro is. They exchange a few words and it seems as though a reconciliation is near. There are sweet kisses, a “te amo” from Carlos and another kiss.
 
Into this tranquil domestic scene, roars Hernán hell bent for leather without a horse, on a mission to fire Fer for his self-humiliated daughter’s sake. He yells and bullies Fer and makes a grab for her. Carlos comes to her defense. The two men tussle and Hermy ends up pushing Carlos backwards onto the couch.
 
At this moment Amelia rolls herself in to witness this dispute. Fer sees her mother and her mother sees Fer. Amelia speaks first, calling her Luisa Fernanda, hija. Blanca hears her and heads for the living room. Mariana arrives and stands in the background. Shock, anguish and incomprehension are all etched on Fer’s face. Amelia approaches her, tears starting to fall. Her daughter is alive. She reaches out her hand to Fer, assuming Fer will reciprocate. Fer backs away from her.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 13 (May 16, 2016) First Half

The solution to the mystery of who and where in the world is Fernanda, granddaughter and future heir to a vast fortune, is known only to one person and he’s incommunicado, interned in a psychiatric hospital. The people who want to know starts with her grandfather, Don Fernando. For good or ill, he has memory lapses. The others, Luis, Amelia and Mariana, all have a stake in Fernanda being found for their own financial gain.

This week we are surely in for some surprises. When Amelia gets back from the D.F., will Fernanda run into her at Don Fernando’s hacienda or will they manage to miss each other? Will Luis stalk the hacienda until he sees Amelia and waylay her to find out where Fernanda is? So far, Pedro has been able to keep Luis and Fernanda apart by pure strength of will, but in doing so is also keeping Fernanda and Carlos, the love of her life, apart, leaving room for a certain Dr. Javier to move in. In Friday’s encounter Javier and Carlos had a standoff. What is next for our pixie-perfect heroine?

Note: This post will cover Episodes #58-Mon, #59-Tue, #60-Wed.  The Second Half will be posted on Thursday and cover Episodes #61-Thu and #62-Fri and carry us through the weekend.
